A line parallel to a triangle’s side splits one side into lengths of 9 and 3. The other side is split into lengths of 12 and x. What is the value of x? (Enter the number only)
@563blackghost
|dw:1547504100205:dw| use the proportionality of corresponding sides
no proportionality of corresponding sides .... so how you ve got this result ?
EF =
no you need calcule the value of x
is it 4
9/3 = 12/x yes exactly
questions ?
Did i had to divide by 9 9x/9 = 26/9 x = 4
no 26 you wan there 36
bc 36/9 = 4
ok. ?
ok i got you but could you help me with more of my math questions
ok. ?
ok
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 9/3 = 12/x cross multiply 9x = 3*12 9x = 36 divide both sides by 9 x = 36 / 9 x = 4 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
